WASHINGTON - Junior forward Marcus Derrickson's (Bowie, Md./Brewster Academy [N.H.]) 17 points led a trio in double figures as the Georgetown University men's basketball team used a big second half to cruise past North Texas, 75-63. With the win, the Hoyas improve to 9-1 on the season, while North Texas' three-game winning streak was halted as the Mean Green slips to 7-6.
"We started off sluggish, but we picked it up on the defensive end at the end of the first and starting the second half, and that's the reason why we won," said Georgetown Head Coach Patrick Ewing.
